Thanks to the people responsible for an outstanding North American championships. I particularly want to thank Mark Dominie for some truly excellent mapping of some very complex terrain that definitely got the better of me. And thanks to everyone involved with putting on the event, apparently despite extremely trying issues with land access arising at the last minute.

I too really enjoyed the terrain and the map was truly exceptional. It would be great to have Mark write about using the Lidar data for his mapping as we have very similar terrain in southern Ontario.

I agree completely. Let's add the rain, the generator breakdown, and the clock malfunctions to the list of obstacles overcome by the leaders and the crew this weekend. Great job CNYO and all volunteers!

We enjoyed the meet, terrain, map and courses very much! Thanks to Mark and all of the CNYO crue for putting on a great event!

I add my thanks too, but also will remind folks that most members of CNYO don't use Attackpoint, so be sure to put something up on the USOFClubnet as well. :-)

jingo6390, see this discussion thread for preliminary results.

Once complete results are posted on CNYO's website, I'll put the link on the USOF Results page.

Great weekend by CNYO! And despite what many people may think, I really did enjoy the swamps!

Nice map, nice courses and overall well organized. Thanks.

I'll add to the kudos. It was a great event and I especially enjoyed the terrain and course setting. Thanks to CNYO!

The rain was a feature, not a bug.

Great work! Also loved the woods at the Salmon River Fish Hatchery, and probably would have loved the ones at Klondike during drier seasons.
